I have no idea why I created this topic. I'm not a Mayu fan, but there are some things about her which are interesting.

1. Her innocent aura and good girl vibe. She gets to you somehow.. like a virus 2. She NEVER articulates.. I've never seen her open her mouth during a performance. It makes it seems like she's lip syncing all the time. Some say she's like a robot (who plots world domination).3. Wotas pay INSANE amounts for her pictures on auctions. Seriously INSANE amounts. I'll try to find some examples later.

"B.L.T. stands for Beautiful Lady & Television. They collaborate with AKB48 in magazines such as the original B.L.T., B.L.T. U-17, and the special AKBxB.L.T. issues. From the AKBxB.L.T. issues which can only be purchased at the theatre or bought online, are collectible photos. It usually comes in four versions, and are sold at different times. One issue at the beginning of the week, second issue during second week, and the rest on the web. The B.L.T. photos that come with it follow the weeks respectively, 1st week - A, 2nd week - B and also C (which can only be ordered through the web)"

So, basically:1. It's kinda rare / difficult to get2. It's signed!3. The value (of any collector item basically) is completely irrational I wouldn't pay more than 3 euro or something for this, while it could mean the world to some fan.

There also other pictures called "gachas"

"Gacha are balls that are sold at the theatre towards the end of the month. They are sold for 300 yen each and contain random prizes and points. Random prizes can include member events, vacation trips, gaming consoles, and more. The points can be used at the theatre in exchange for items such as 2-shots and member photos. There is no limit to how many you can buy so you could buy two bags full of gachas if you wanted to."

But they abandoned this system in July (?) this year and replaced it with a totally new system. In the new system you buy a card pack (from your preferred team) for 1000y, which contains 5 pictures at random. Someone correct me of I'm wrong here..

7.Watanabe Mayu - mayuyu is her old nickname...now everybody calls her CG or cyborg girl The truth is she really IS a cyborg. her movements are completely automatic...she speaks like a cyborg..she smiles like one..she dances like one. she doesn't sing like one though WARNING: don't look at her eyes...she'll suck your soul with those cyborg eyes and will make you her follower FOREVER

I never properly watched B4 before (no pun intended ). So when the studio albums came out, I decided to put the songs on my iPod and get to know them before watching the B4 LoD. 'Zannen Shoujo' turned out to be one of my favs and I was quite shocked when I saw the LoD It's Mayuyu's unit! In goth-loli outfits no less I would've never guessed. I guess Mayu's vocals improved.
